So you're having HubSpot Caching Issues?

Well, you're in luck.

There's a pretty nifty open source Google Chrome Extension for HubSpot Developers, and it helps with that.

Let me first explain some things:

  • HubSpot uses cloudflare and server-side caching.
  • HubSpot occasionally fails to clear the cache for pages when certain types of files or elements are updated on a page.
  • These issues resolve themselves generally within 15 - 30 minutes. Due to the CDN people in different parts of the world will see the updates faster than others.
  • That's a long time to wait to see your changes take effect when you're developing. The Chrome Extension helps you see what the page will be like once the cache has been updated. It does not clear the cache for everyone, just you. It also does not affect your local browser cache - so it's fast and allows your browser to keep rendering fast.
  • It does give you a link however you can share to someone after you make a change, allowing them to see the page in that new state as well.

Here's how you do this:

  1. Install the HubSpot Developer Chrome Extension
  2. go to the page you're experiencing the issue on, click the extension's icon, then click "Bust Cache". BLAM there you go!
  3. Now Check out all of the other features and tools that come with the extension
  4. Now be amazing and please rate the extension in the web store - the more ratings, the more people discover the extension, the more people who discover the extension the more people who contribute to the extension.
  5. Join our channel #developer-extension in the official HubSpot Developer Slack. We regularly get feedback from the community and implement it, we also notify of updates and upcoming features through this Slack.
  6. Contribute to the extension.
